Ireland will discover their World Cup playoff opponents when the draw takes place in Zurich this afternoon.
It has been a week since James McClean's goal in Cardiff secured our spot in the playoffs.
Ireland jumped eight places to 26th place in the latest release of the FIFA world rankings, but it was not enough to earn a seeded spot.
We are among the four lowest-ranked sides in the playoff draw, meaning we will definitely be drawn against one of Switzerland (11), Italy (15), Croatia (18) or Denmark (19).
